0:00:13 > 0:00:14Good Evening.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16The Newport West MP Paul Flynn has been appointed

0:00:16 > 0:00:19as the new Shadow Secretary of State for Wales.

0:00:19 > 0:00:23Mr Flynn, who's 81, will share the role with that of

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Shadow Leader of the House.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29Meanwhile the former Labour leader Lord Kinnock has called

0:00:29 > 0:00:31on Jeremy Corbyn to step aside.

0:00:31 > 0:00:36Here's our Political Correspondent, Arwyn Jones.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Last week he was appointed as the Shadow Leader

0:00:38 > 0:00:41of the House and today, as more and more Labour MPs refused

0:00:41 > 0:00:44to serve in the Shadow Cabinet, Paul Flynn is also the Shadow

0:00:44 > 0:00:45Secretary of State for Wales.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48He took to social media to say, while he was happy

0:00:48 > 0:00:52with his two roles, he thought it best to pass on the chance to take

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Aaron Ramsey's place in the Wales team as well!

0:00:54 > 0:00:58But not everyone's been in such high spirits today.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00As a Labour Leader during the turbulent 1980s,

0:01:00 > 0:01:04Neil Kinnock knows a thing or two about keeping the party together.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06After a majority of MPs backed a vote of no confidence

0:01:06 > 0:01:09in Mr Corbyn last week, today, the former leader urged the current

0:01:09 > 0:01:12leader to stand aside.

0:01:12 > 0:01:13Under the democratic

0:01:13 > 0:01:16provisions of the Labour Party and the common-sense provisions of the

0:01:16 > 0:01:20Labour Party, the leader must have substantial support

0:01:20 > 0:01:22in the Parliamentary party.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26Obviously there is no basis on which Jeremy

0:01:26 > 0:01:30really could or should stay.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32And Lord Kinnock wasn't the only one calling

0:01:32 > 0:01:35for the Labour leader to go today, Rhondda MP Chris Bryant said it

0:01:35 > 0:01:43would break the back of the party if Mr Corbyn remained in charge.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45At this rally in Cardiff Friday night there was plenty

0:01:45 > 0:01:46of support for Mr Corbyn.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49His supporters say the fact he was elected last September

0:01:49 > 0:01:51with an overwhelming majority has to count for something,

0:01:51 > 0:01:55but others suggest that support might be waning.

0:01:55 > 0:01:56Yesterday we reported from the former Labour Cabinet

0:01:56 > 0:01:59minister, Peter Hain that these were dangerous times for the party.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03At a time when they could be turning their attacks on a clearly

0:02:03 > 0:02:06divided Conservative party in Westminster,

0:02:06 > 0:02:08the internal wranglings inside the Labour party

0:02:08 > 0:02:13show no sign of waning.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Football, and the Wales team trained in Dinard this morning,

0:02:16 > 0:02:18preparing for Wednesday night's semi-final against

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Portugal in Euro 2016.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24They'll be without Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davies who are suspended,

0:02:24 > 0:02:28but the Manager feels the squad is strong enough to deal

0:02:28 > 0:02:31with the loss.

0:02:31 > 0:02:36Iwan Griffiths reports.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38When leaving Dinard for the quarterfinals last week, some

0:02:38 > 0:02:42journalists may have thought their time here had come to an end.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44But in numbers, they're back in Brittany.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46More media personnel than ever, eager to

0:02:46 > 0:02:48hear from the most successful manager in Welsh football history.

0:02:48 > 0:02:53I think the time for us to start reflecting on this tournament will

0:02:53 > 0:02:59be whenever the time is for us to go home.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01And that time is not now.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Also put in front of the press today, the

0:03:03 > 0:03:07man who fooled three Belgian defenders in Lille on Friday night.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09The manner in which I

0:03:09 > 0:03:14scored it, it was a special feeling for myself and for all of us.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17So, yeah, the goal of my life.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20In this beautiful seaside town of Dinard, Chris Coleman has plotted

0:03:20 > 0:03:24a remarkable journey through Euro 2016.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26They are in the semifinal.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28It is Wales versus Portugal.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Gareth Bale versus Cristiano Ronaldo.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Two of the best players on the planet.

0:03:33 > 0:03:37Obviously at Real Madrid they know each other very well but he

0:03:37 > 0:03:40can still, he still has the capacity to do something special.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Unstoppable.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46Of course that's the danger.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49But we've got one of them as well in our team.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Wales will be without Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davis

0:03:51 > 0:03:54on Wednesday night, both suspended after seeing two yellow cards during

0:03:54 > 0:03:57the tournament.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Whatever happens in Lyon in three days' time, Euro 2016 has been

0:04:00 > 0:04:03historically special for Wales but these men

0:04:03 > 0:04:06aren't ready to go home

0:04:06 > 0:04:11and who would bet against them going all the way?

0:04:23 > 0:04:29It was also the third-highest TV audience in Wales this century,

0:04:29 > 0:04:31exceeded only by the opening and closing ceremonies
